Dolittle Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I can't believe how the months go by so fast. July is the month of fireworks and picnics. For some,, its a celebration of independence. That is,, an independence from food. Being banded and having good restriction, you'll notice your picnic plate doesn't have the huge pile of food on it like the years before. I know,, it all looks soooo gooood! Just remember to take a little spoon of this and a little spoon of that and the band will do the rest. This topic is for those who have either scheduled their surgery or fill in the month of July. Use this topic to hook up with those who are going to be at the OCC during this month and when you get there,, you'll be excided to meet that person you met here.

ready4life Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 6/26/09 Hello everyone, I am a new user and my surgery is scheduled for July 29th. I am excited, nervous and worried. I have read alot of your post for the past hour or so. Some of them scare the -------- out of me and some of them make me hopeful that something may finally work. I am so tired of the weight battle. I will fly into San Diego on the 28th with the procedure on the 29th and fly home on the 31st. I need info on your experiences with Dr. Ortiz and Mexico. Pre-op diet tips, post-of diet tips and any other information that you can give me. Congratulation on all of your successes! I hope very soon in the future to be blogging about my up and down days. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I was banded at the OCC on the 22 of May. I'm waiting for my passport so I can go back for my fill this month. Dr. Ortiz and his staff are awesome, couldn't ask for a better team. My brother was banded here in San Diego, he came with me and was totally jelouse as to how it was for me. I also went with him for a support meeting here , I got more out of the people waiting for there fills and folks waiting for surgery and the staff at OCC. I wish you the best of luck you will be very happy with your choice, I am with mine and would do it again if I had to. Keep in touch, ~Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi July new bandsters and fills :-h I am 'heading down Mexico way' on July 20th for pre-op, surgery on the 21st and heading home on the 23rd. I'll be staying at the Marriott, so if anyone out there is going to be at the OCC that week, let me know so we can meet! I'm so excited, aren't you? I've been following this forum so that I will be mentally prepared for anything that may come my way the next few months. I am confident that I have chosen the best surgeon, and will be successful at winning the battle of the bulge. Obesity will NOT win. I will live the second half of my life, thinner, healthier and happier! All the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
